During a reboot, some LIFs might have been migrated to their assigned failover ports. Before and after you upgrade, revert, or downgrade a cluster, you must enable and revert any LIFs that are not on their home ports.
About this task
The network interface revert command reverts a LIF that is not currently on its home port back to its home port, provided that the home port is operational. A LIF's home port is specified when the LIF is created; you can determine the home port for a LIF by using the network interface show command.
- Display the status of all LIFs: network interface show
Example
This example displays the status of all LIFs for a
storage virtual machine (SVM).
TDC-DM7K::> network interface show -vserver vs0

8 entries were displayed.
If any LIFs appear with a
Status Admin status of
down or with an
Is home status of
false, continue with the next step.
- Enable the data LIFs: network interface modify {-role data} -status-admin up
Example
TDC-DM7K::> network interface modify {-role data} -status-admin up
8 entries were modified.
- Revert LIFs to their home ports: network interface revert *
Example
This command reverts all LIFs back to their home ports.
TDC-DM7K::> network interface revert *
8 entries were acted on.
- Verify that all LIFs are in their home ports: network interface show
Example
This example shows that all LIFs for
SVM vs0 are on their home ports.
TDC-DM7K::> network interface show -vserver vs0
Logical Status Network Current Current Is
